New wood pellet grill made in USA

[Brokenhandle]

I guess I haven't spent enough time on social media to think a "no offense" needs to begin sentences that express preferences. We used to say "I'm a Chevy man" without saying, "No offense, but I'm a Chevy man." These days you can't say you prefer Wendy's to McDonald's without needing to say, "No offense, but . . ."

I'm a big boy. I come from a generation that could debate everything from Baptists' differences with Presbyterians to Democrats' differences with Republicans without having to say, "No offense." I miss those days.

Yoders are great. Enjoy!

I'm just wondering if you're bringing a hot dish or a casserole to the church potluck!

Nice looking smoker! Looking forward to more pics and food porn!

Here comes the snow, so I pulled out the cover and put it on even though the grill is still on the truck.

Ha! Brand confusion!

First off let me congratulate you in your retirement. That’s a Big milestone.
No reason to get your hackles up over someone trying to be polite. My reference to “no offense “ was aimed at the engineer who designed this grill, and whom you were gushing over. In my opinion, this design is stolen, straight up, from Yoder. Not much engineering to it at all. I’m sure it will be a fine grill and will serve you very well. However, it just frosts me to see no creative thought and a straight out steal of another product. Especially from an engineer. The ash door is something I have wished was on my Yoder, but you will have to let us know how that extra diffuser over the fire pot works out. It must be removed to direct grill over fire and the Yoder has an adjustable baffle to allow evening out of grill temps. I’m curious how well it actually runs since some of the minor changes seem counter intuitive. To be clear, I did not mean to be critical of you personally. The grill on the other hand, I have reservations about. Welcome to the forum. It’s a nice spot on the inter webs and I’m in on the first cooks coming off your new pit.

Great looking pellet burner you have sir! Congrats on retirement as well!!! Can’t wait to see some cooks on her!

Fun post.
Good job keeping the gang entertained for 40+ posts.
Congrats on the new pooper. Let us know when you actually get to use it?

In Idaho it is a "dish to pass" according to my sister-in-law.

Aaawww, Come on guys...everybody is in such a hurry these days. Can't Y'all enjoy a little Mystery and Anticipation. HECK, a Hundred years ago a Stripper would take a lot longer to reveal...Nothing!...JJ

Didn't realize you were that old JJ. How can you still hold up the barbecue tool?

First off let me congratulate you in your retirement.

Every brand of pellet pooper is either a knock off copy or enhanced version of the original Joe Traeger design from 30 some years back.
It took me years to get a pellet pooper grill, because I detest pellet heating stoves, especially from the company Joe started the venture. I thought they sent more heat out the flue than in the living space.

I see a major issue with that rig! It ain't in my back yard
Congrats on the pellet grill and the retirement. Enjoy both!

Well, there's snow on the mountains now, but fortunately it didn't start before I got a chance to cook some tri-tip for California tacos. Yum.

Seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cooked on the Outlaw at 225 for about an hour and a half, then in the oven at 550 for ten minutes.

 

[old sarge]

I like the looks of that. Your rig did you proud!

 

[MJB05615]

Looks good and nice smoke ring. The new Rig seems to be "rigged" up pretty darn good.

 

[Fueling Around]

Got a light dust of snow today.
Nice tri-tip. Too expensive a cut around here for casual cooking.
How does your oven go to 550°? Mine is in clean mode at that temp and the door is locked so anything would be a cinder at the finish.

FA my pellet pooper goes to 600 and the new models go to 650.....ideal for grilling or seasoning CI pans!

I don't know. I guess I've never thought about it. It's a pretty ordinary Samsung gas range. Nothing fancy. I just ran the number up to 550 on the key pad and up it went.

Just realized you were talking about the house oven. Yes our Bosch go to 550 as well. As an FYI we never do self clean in ours as that heat is what cooks electronics....our ovens spend lots of time at 450 to 500

Most ovens go to 550* it's actually rare to find one that doesn't, heck our 30 yr old GE goes up to 625* great for cooking pizza and searing under the broiler.

Nice look'in smoker congratulations.
Dan.

It took three of us, including my strong-as-a-horse ex-USMC special forces son. It's a tank.

Thanks for the laughs ttkt57 and MJB05615 they are appreciated.

Most of the snow missed us, so I swept up what little fell on the patio . . . and now I think I'll do another cook!

The clean-out door made ash removal from the first cook easy. A very nice feature.

Thanks! Much appreciated!

No worries. Never did, still haven't.

I doubt anybody reading your first post would think that, but I'll take your word for it.

this design is stolen, straight up, from Yoder.

I'm not a historian of pellet smokers, but didn't Louisiana come out with this before Yoder? And didn't Yoder "steal" its offset design from Horizon?

Not much engineering to it at all.

That's a big claim. How do you know this?

it just frosts me to see no creative thought and a straight out steal of another product.

Unless you know a lot more about the origin of the Louisiana/Yoder/Sawtooth burn basket than I do, how can you say this?

some of the minor changes seem counter intuitive

Which would those be?

Welcome to the forum. It’s a nice spot on the inter webs and I’m in on the first cooks coming off your new pit.

Thanks! Come on over; there's always plenty of grub and cold ones in the cooler.
